One of Those Days

July 21, 2012 · 2 Comments

Ever have one of those days where you just don’t wake up like yourself? As much as you try to shake it off everything and everyone just doesn’t seem to rub you quite the right way. Well, today was definitely one of those days. I was feeling ansy as soon as the day started; I just needed to do SOMETHING!  I know what I needed to make me feel better and that was to make some dessert and be outdoors. I’m not fortunate, yet, to live in a location where I can just pick up go outside for a hike, go on the lake or walk down to the beach, which is probably why I was feeling this way. So, with the energy I had, made a sea salt caramel ice cream base {which I’ll be posting about tomorrow} then put a leash on Marley and drove to the nearest park I knew. As soon as I got on the trail, I just felt at ease and myself again. I’m someone who is very connected with nature, and when I don’t have enough of it, my life just seems out of whack. Going up and down trails, unknowing of where I’d end up, underneath the sun, in absolute silence with only Marley trailing alongside me…I felt at home. I thought about nothing, letting those frustrated feelings drift away from me. For two hours, it was as if I was somewhere else, far from reality. As I headed home I remembered a quote I read once:

“When you’re faced with challenges, don’t dwell on them. Instead focus on the things you love in life. When you give attention to the good in your life, you will create more good.”

{decided to take a beaten trail which led us to a great view}

We all have our off days, but it’s how you deal with them that makes all the difference. It’s really important to know what makes you happy and makes you feel like “you”. It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as you feel good about yourself. So, I’ve been enjoying the rest of my night watching movies and indulging in my version of S’mores Afogato.

Dreamery Headshot_2020

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. Travel is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

Woke up feeling a bit more hopeful & lighter after Woke up feeling a bit more hopeful & lighter after yesterday’s historic day. change won’t happen all at once, there is much to work on...
but for the first time in some time,
I know many are easing up those tense shoulders
& releasing a big deep breathe of relief...

it’s okay to feel good
about releasing all the energy
from the last four years,
we deserve to celebrate
letting go of that...but I do feel
this overall newfound sense of hope,
of inspiration, of drive, motivation,
one we haven’t felt in sometime,
a sigh of relief, that at least,
we’re taking the first steps 
to expand & better the days ahead for all🌾🧡✨
This week may have been a lot but at least it ende This week may have been a lot but at least it ended w. pretty flowers for little Adelaide! Her 3rd birthday may not be as big as her “Some Bunny is 1” or “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles” celebrations but her loved ones are sure to make her special day “Berry Sweet”🍓🌸
E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expan E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expanding"💫

this year I choose to expand on the
lessons last year served us...
I expand upon all my visions, dreams & intentions
I aim to expand on love, abundance, health, joy, comfort, courage, creativity, adventure, calm, authenticity, w.e big or small that makes my soul sing & thus expand upon my growth.
But I wholeheartedly hope that this year can help others expand on all the good things they want as well -- especially in global terms🤍

I haven't set resolutions in years, instead I always set intentions -- little things that become part of who I am & in turn become the steps to bring all those images I'm inspired by, into life in my own way.

I'm simplifying even more & stripping it down, choosing to always show myself, & others,
more Grace. I quite enjoy this slow but intentional path. Yes, embracing a fresh new start seems appealing, but there’s much uncertainty still to face & we have a whole year ahead of us.

There’s time to get it done so no need to rush into it...show yourself & others some grace, be a Kind human always, because anything can happen✨

Adeus 2020... It‘ll be impossible to forget you, Adeus 2020...
It‘ll be impossible to forget you, you broke us, but you also reminded us how we resilient we are. Your chapter is closed, good riddance!!

Ironically my word for 2020 was “Bliss” yet despite all the grief, the heartbreak + emotional rollercoaster I think all of us, although at times hard, did see the silver linings this past year brought. Personally, I realized early on the immense amount of Bliss that was already present in my life, perhaps more so if this year wasn’t what it was.

No, there weren’t Big Blissful moments or travels, but there was so many moments to enjoy the simple pleasures of every day. More time in the garden, a newfound excitement in the kitchen, endless cloud gazing — birdsong listening — butterfly + dragonfly catching — soothing sunsets + always stopping to smell the roses moments. Blissful moments to create whatever it was I felt like doing, moments to appreciate what truly matters in life + what of that is what always needs to be present in life. The chance to escape in the safety of nature + loved ones. The blissful opportunity to rest, to mentally wander, to learn what stillness really is. 

I gave myself grace this year & a well deserved pat on the back, & I really hope you did the same!! As I sail into 2021 I remember just how important all these moments are for growth + Expansion…

Things won’t change right away but all I can wish for all of us in 2021 is abundance, health, unity, joy & Love🤍🤍
